Your southern safari adventure kicks off with an afternoon transfer to Dar es Salaam airport, where you will board a scheduled flight bound for the untamed landscapes of the Selous Game Reserve. Upon landing, you will be met and transferred directly to Selous Serena Camp, arriving just in time to freshen up before heading out for an afternoon shared game drive to get your first taste of the reserve’s rich wildlife.

Afterward, you will head back to camp for dinner and a peaceful night’s rest. The following three full days are fully dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the Selous, with each day perfectly paced around morning and afternoon shared game drives to track down the resident predators and large herds. All meals and your overnight stays are provided at Selous Serena Camp, giving you plenty of time to relax by the campfire between excursions.

After breakfast on your fifth day, you can enjoy a slow morning at your own pace before sitting down for lunch at the lodge. In the afternoon, you will transfer to the local airstrip for your scheduled flight back through Dar es Salaam and onward to the spice island of Zanzibar. Arriving on the coast, a smooth transfer brings you to your beachside retreat at Matemwe Lodge, where you will settle in for a beautiful dinner and overnight stay. This sets the stage for six full days of pure tropical relaxation on Zanzibar Island, where your time is entirely your own to spend lounging on the white sands or choosing from a variety of optional ocean and cultural excursions. Throughout your beach stay, all meals and accommodations are hosted at Matemwe Lodge.

Your incredible bush and beach getaway comes to a close on the twelfth day. Following breakfast, you can take advantage of a final morning at leisure to soak in the ocean views, depending on your departure schedule. Later in the day, a transfer will take you to the airport for your scheduled flight to Dar es Salaam, aligning seamlessly with your international flight back home.
